For the next years everyone will tell you what you should do.
DO NOT ALLOW them to make you or your partner guilty or miserable for not following other people instructions / advice / buying reccomendations.
This is specially important to mothers: there is a HUGE pressure for them to follow perfectly all instructions and advice.
For instance, if she doesn't want (or just can't) breastfeed the baby, it is okay as long as it is your decision.
